Medici was born in Brazil and came to the US two years ago to attend college. He was described by friends as being a 'sweet and humble' person.

It was the first fatal shark attack to take place in Massachusetts since 1936 and the beach has been closed as a result.

The beach had a sign warning about Great White sharks that feed in the inshore waters.
